=COMBINED FORCE-FEED .EPUMP .ANZD FAUCET.

Application filed. Ju1y23,

This invention relates generally to pumps, and hasmore particularreference to a combination force feed pump and faucet par ticularly,though .-not necessarily adapted for use in conjunction with oil barrelsin order that thecontent-sof the barrel to which the device is attachedmay be quickly withdrawn regardless of the level of the contentsthereof.

An additional object of the invention is to provide a .device of thebefore mentioned character that is relatively simple of con struction,but yet very'efficient for the purposes intended.

Other objects will become apparent as the nature of the invention isbetter understood, the same comprising the novel form, combination, andarrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in theaccompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing wherein like reference characters indicate correspondingparts throughout both of the views:

Figure 1 is a detail longitudinal section through a combined force feedpump and faucet constructed in accordance with the present invention,and

Figure 2 is a transverse section taken substantially upon the line 2-2of Figure 1 and looking in the direction of the arrow.

Now having particular reference to the drawing, my novel deviceconstitutes the provision of a cylindrical barrel 5 threaded at itsinner end as at 6 for dis-position Within a threaded opening in theparticular container with which the device is to be associated, thebarrel being formed externally at the inner ends of these threads withan angular flange 7 to permit the turning of the barrel into the openingof the container.

At the outer open end of the barrel 5 the same is externally screwthreaded as at 8 for receiving the inner threaded and angularly flangedend of a cup shaped head 9, the side wall of which is formed with alaterally directed discharge nozzle 10 extending trans versely throughwhich is a handle attached valve plug 11 or closing the passage throughthe nozzle when desired.

The inner end of the barrel 5 is internally threaded for receiving anexternally threaded annulus 12 the inner side of which is tapered forproviding a valve seat. Formed centrally of this annulus is a guidesleeve 13 through which is slidably disposed a valve 1926. Serial No.124,442. pin .14 upon the inner end of which is a disc valve 15complementary to the seat of said annulus. This valveis normallymaintained closed by reason ofan=expansible coil spring 16 thatsurrounds the pin 14 between :the sleeve 13 and a removable abutment.1'7.at the outer end of the stem.

.Rectilinear'ly movable within the barrel 5 is a piston designatedgenerally A.- This piston constitutes the provision of an annulus 18thefront side of which is also tapered to provide .a valve seat whileformed centrally thereof is a guide sleeve 19 through which is slidablyarranged a valve pin '20, the inner end of which carries a disc valve 21also complementary to the seat of the annulus. In this instance also thevalve is maintained normally closed by the action of a coil spring 22surrounding the stem between the sleeve and the removable abutment 23 atthe end of the stem.

At diametrically opposed points, the exterior surface of the annulus islongitudinally slotted as at 24-24 for receiving the arms of a yokemember 25, said arms being secured within the slots by set screws asdisclosed in Figure 1.

Suitably detachably secured at its inner end to the center of the yoke25 is a piston actuating rod 26 that extends horizontally within thebarrel and outwardly through a packed opening 27 in the barrelhead 9,the extreme outer end of the rod being equipped or formed with a handle29 to facilitate the reciprocation of the piston A within the barrel.

Obviously, by drawing the piston A toward the front end of the barrel, asuction will be caused in the back of the piston for opening the valve15 which will permit the fluid from the container to pass into thebarrel. Upon a return movement of the piston the valve 15 will beautomatically closed while the piston valve 21 will move to openposition for permitting the oil to pass in front of the piston whereuponthe same Will discharge by gravity from the nozzle 10 when the valvetherein is open, or the same will be forcibly ejected therefrom from theoutward movement of the piston within the barrel.

In view of the foregoing description when considered in conjunction withthe accompanying drawings it will at once be apparent that I haveprovided a highly novel, simple, and efiicient form of combined forcefeed pump and faucet for oil or other fluid barrels and containers, andeven though I have herein shown and described the same as consisting ofcertain detail structural elements it is nevertheless to be understoodthat some departures may be had without departing from the spirit andscope of the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, What I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is A device of the class described including,in combination, a cylindrical barrel externally threaded at its innerend for disposition within a threaded opening in a container, acup-shaped head engaged on the outer end of the barrel and having alaterally directed discharge nozzle, said head being provided with anopening, an actuating rod slidable through the opening in the head, ayoke detachably engaged on the inner end of the rod, an annulus slidablein the barrel and provided with a pair of external grooves for receivingthe ends of the yoke, said ends of the yoke being fixed in said grooves,a guide sleeve in the annulus, a valve pin slidable in the guide sleeve,a disk valve on said pin and complementary with a seat formed on theannulus remote from the inner end of the barrel, a spring associatedwith the pin for normally holding said valve closed, an annulus threadedin the inner end of the barrel and having a valve seat formed on itsinner end, a guide sleeve in the second annulus, a second valve pinslidable in the second sleeve, a second valve on the second pin closableagainst the seat of the second annulus, and spring means associated withthe second pin for normally holding said second valve closed against itsseat.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
